Culinary Standards: Happy Chandara Staff Complete Advanced Training with École Paul Dubrule

At Schools Cambodia, we closely monitor how educational institutions prioritize student well-being. A recent initiative at Happy Chandara School highlights this commitment, as their culinary team underwent intensive professional development to elevate the quality and safety of school meals.

Partnering for Excellence

To ensure international standards in their kitchen, Happy Chandara School collaborated with École Paul Dubrule, one of the region’s premier hospitality institutions. Under the guidance of expert trainer Mr. Piseth, the school’s cooks participated in a comprehensive program titled “Food Safety, Clean Cooking, and Food Preparation.”

Theory and Practice in the Kitchen

The training was structured to provide the staff with both the knowledge and the practical skills necessary for a high-functioning kitchen environment:

• Food Hygiene & Safety: A theoretical deep dive into maintaining a sterile environment, preventing cross-contamination, and adhering to “Good Kitchen Practices.”
• Technique & Presentation: A practical phase where staff practiced modern food preparation, kitchen organization, and the professional presentation of dishes.

Impact on Student Health

From our perspective at Schools Cambodia, these vocational training sessions are vital. They ensure that the students at Happy Chandara are not only receiving an education but are also supported by a nutrition program that is:

• Scientifically Safe: Prepared according to strict hygiene protocols.
• Nutritionally Balanced: Designed to support the physical development of young learners.
• Professionally Managed: Led by a team that is constantly improving their technical skills.

We commend Happy Chandara School and École Paul Dubrule for this successful collaboration in fostering a healthier learning environment.
